A Statistical Analysis Report by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The report provides data on education related to the fact that due to the prevalence of divorce and non-marital childbearing in the U.S., many students enrolled in grades 1 through 12 do not live with both their biological parents. Data from the 1966 Nat. Household Education Survey reveal that the school involvement of biological parents is not the same across family types and that the involvement of step-parents is generally lower than that of biological parents. Chapters: findings; summary and discussion; methodology, and data reliability. Charts and tables.

The National Household Education Survey (NHES) collects data on the educational activities of the United States population. NHES is designed as a telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized population of the United States. The survey was fielded for the first time in 1991 and will be conducted annually beginning in 1993. Each survey will examine a different topic or topics related to education. This report presents findings from the 1991 NHES, which examined young children''s participation in nonparental care and early education programs. The first part of the report provides background information on the survey. The second part presents data on the relationship between preschoolers'' participation in nonparental care and early childhood education programs, and child characteristics, family characteristics, and maternal employment. The third part presents data on the relationship between the number of hours per week preschoolers spend in nonparental care and early education programs, and child characteristics, family socioeconomic characteristics, and maternal employment. Preschool children''s participation in home-based and center-based programs is discussed in the fourth part. The fifth part examines the relationship between children''s participation in the child care arrangement in which they spend the most time per week, and child characteristics, family characteristics, and maternal employment. The sixth part discusses characteristics of center-based programs, including group size and child-staff ratios. The report is summarized in the seventh part. A discussion of the survey methodology is included. (Contains 17 references.) (BC)
